[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d gently suggest you adjust your stereotype that women aren’t typically skilled in home maintenance. If she’s handy already, she’s probably used to finding home maintenance how-tos online, which is a more current and comprehensive source than a book would be. In her shoes, I’d be offended by a maintenance book “for women in this situation”—when the situation is just home ownership. Maybe a different housewarming gift would be better, like a tool you know she doesn’t already have.[/quote] She told me she was looking for something like this. We both got married out of college so have never had to do all this on our own. She's an engineer so I think she's actually looking forward to it. [/quote]
